Archaeology furnishes us with fascinating evidence of the progress of these peoples and their way of life, until the skaldic poets began to write down and celebrate their rulers, establishing divine authority through legend and myth. Trace the ancient origins of the Norsemen from the Stone Age through the Bronze Age, Iron Age and Roman Iron Age to the famous Viking Age and its impact across Europe, discovering the migrations, culture, kings, literature and sagas which combine to create modern identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eA beautiful companion volume to \u003cem\u003eNorse Myths \u0026amp; Legends\u003c\/em\u003e, this striking edition offers a new introduction to Viking society and culture.
